I bet Zaha enjoyed that goal.

Spurs? Top of the league? This is highly irregular, Captain.

I hadn't thought about Kelvin Koogan in years!

Roons in at Brum City - that'll end well. And by sacking a manager who had stabilised the club - genius!

well that sounds reassuring

The tournament qualification process for the home nations (+ Ireland) looks... interesting.

"The host countries will go through qualification for Euro 2028, with two “safety net” berths for any who do not reach it on merit."

I wonder whether tonight's England Australia match is worth all the hassle, and maybe it might've been a better idea to have postponed it, or at least played it behind closed doors.

That was rather rubb.

Post by **blombluss** » Sun Oct 15, 2023 7:20 pm

Talking of rubb... I'm guessing losing to Afghanistan at the cricket World Cup is some sort of shock?

only the second world cup match afghanistan have ever won (out of 18)

Well done Wales!

I think Jordan Henderson should stop talking.

I presume Southgate won't pick him tomorrow night against Italy, which probably means he'll start!

Post by **dng** » Mon Oct 16, 2023 8:56 pm

thats even more confusing that what henderson said

Post by **dng** » Tue Oct 17, 2023 8:47 pm

also italy deserved to lose tonight simply for turning up in leicester city's kit

Post by **vom** » Tue Oct 17, 2023 9:33 pm

I only saw the last few minutes but I turned it on just in time to see a nice goal so I'm the real winner

Cheers!

Also, it was nice of the England team to pick a member of the public in midfield, although he should've been sent off for three yellow card-worthy offences. I presume the chap had won a competition or something?

Its because james maddison is a massive twat

Post by **dng** » Tue Oct 24, 2023 10:44 am

you're allowed to be top if your team has a massive twat in it

Post by **blombluss** » Tue Oct 24, 2023 3:38 pm

In which case, one day all 20 teams will jointly be top of the league.

why?

Post by **blombluss** » Tue Oct 24, 2023 7:43 pm

You're still top o' the tree, aren't you? And very nice it is, too, to see them there, rather than Man City!

Ajax are 2nd from bottom in the Dutch league!

Winston '40 grand a week for not playing' Bogarde is assistant manager, which might have something to do with it.

Post by **vom** » Wed Oct 25, 2023 9:06 pm

Was really hoping the Man City v Young Boys match would be more one-sided so I could make an absolutely brilliant "man against boys" joke that I'm sure nobody else in the world thought of

But alas

Post by **vom** » Thu Oct 26, 2023 7:39 am

Also last night Southampton's goalkeeper went up for a corner and scored a last-minute equaliser but it's been given as an own goal because it deflected off Ched Evans :((

What a shame

Post by **dng** » Thu Oct 26, 2023 10:04 am

well thats not fair at all

Would football be improved by allowed trained bears and other animals to participate in matches?

Post by **endar** » Sat Oct 28, 2023 8:51 pm

Maybe

i think the players should be forced to take up smoking during the match. Pipes or cigarettes. Players are too fit now which kills the excitement

Post by **vom** » Sat Oct 28, 2023 9:09 pm

At least one player from each team should be drunk, with a bonus multiplier applied if they submit additional drunks

Post by **blombluss** » Tue Oct 31, 2023 3:08 am

I was going to say that each team should feature a mystery player that has bet heavily on the opposing side to win, but that probably happens already!
